GO-N-DUTCH
Diners demand convenience, and they are using technology to achieve near-instant gratification. Online ordering isn't a nice-to-have anymore. It's becoming a customer expectation and a restaurant industry standard. If your restaurant isn't capitalizing on this trend, it's equivalent to shutting a door in their face.
GROUP DINING MADE SIMPLE
Go-N-Dutch, The mobile ordering and payment app for Las Vegas restaurants and bars coming soon Summer of 2019.
The new app allows users to do basic functions like search for restaurants, invite friends to a restaurant reservation, check-in, order, split and pay for their own bill. Our startup is focused on providing a new dining experience for patrons who like to eat out in large groups.
WHY
GO-N-DUTCH?1 in 4 restaurant-goers say the availability of technology options factors into their decision to choose a restaurant.
American culture has become increasingly phone-call-averse, so naturally online reservation systems get more popular each year. This year, 52% of avid diners nationally say they make restaurant reservations via the Internet. The nation’s most tech-savvy diners are in Washington, DC (74%) and San Francisco (67%), followed by Chicago (63%) and Boston (63%). In Miami and Detroit, however, 44% of diners still use the good old-fashioned telephone to call and make reservations; 21% of diners in Portland, OR, say they don’t make restaurant reservations at all.
Meanwhile, the pesky task of paying your check is being simplified by technology as well. A slew of new apps like Cover and Cake are making paying your tab a breeze. But will diners embrace the trend? 59% of surveyors report that they have paid their bill via app or would do it. As for apps like Resy that let you pay for a hard-to-get table, most respondents were not on board: 71% said they wouldn’t pay for a reservation.
Other Restaurants chains, including Olive Garden, Applebee’s, Chilli’s and Panera Bread, have introduced kiosk-type ordering systems to compliment service staff. Dr. Waddoups says it’s a way for restaurants to appeal to new customers by using new technology, along with saving money.
In recent research the new tabletop kiosk is said to increase table turns by 30% and that’s with one per table so if everyone has their own personal device in their own hands than we can assume that Go-N-Dutch increases that number by more than double.

The key to customer loyalty in the age of online ordering is data. When you collect information about your customers such as their names, email addresses, and order histories, you get the insights you need to keep them coming back.
Armed with your own customer data, you can create personalized email marketing campaigns that leverage strategic offers like promo codes, new menu items, and special events in order to increase order sizes, turn new customers into loyal regulars, and bring in their friends.
With Go-N-Dutch you will have access to your own data unlike other third-party marketplaces such as Uber Eats, Grub Hub, and Postmates just to name a few!
